Notes:

2. On April 23, 1860, Frederick Baker, attorney at law,
15 Nassau Street, New York City, wrote to Whitman: "The Deed executed to Lazarus
Wineburgh in 1854 does not express the consideration money. Wineburgh has
recently effected a sale of the property conveyed by that Deed; but objection is
made to the title on the ground of such omission" (Charles E. Feinberg
Collection). Adams has not been identified. [back]
